As thousands come down with Covid every day, identifying Omicron symptoms are more relevant than ever.
Whilst many individuals may develop mild illness, the last few years of the pandemic has shown how dangerous this virus can be.
There are over one million Covid cases in Scotland - 1,085,696 to be exact - and the NHS is facing shortages as staff fall ill.
Coronavirus affects people in different ways - being unvaccinated or having certain health conditions puts you at risk of developing serious illness, The Mirror reports.
Although many are able to treat themselves from home, the dangers of the latest variant are still very real.
America's Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, or CDC, has listed five specific symptoms that indicate someone with Omicron may need closer medical attention than first thought.
The CDC say that the following symptoms are all signs you may need to receive medical attention:
Experts are saying this list is not definitive and overall you should look at getting medical attention if any symptom is concerning you.
Many people who are picking up Covid, however, are reporting symptoms more in line with the common lurgy.
The head of the ZOE Covid tracker app, Professor Tim Spector of King's College London, said: "Over 50 per cent of people with a cold-like symptom have PCR-proven Covid."
However, if you do begin to feel more ill or notice your symptoms are getting worse, the NHS advises you call 111 or seek attention from a medic.
The NHS says that you should get medical attention if you are having difficulty breathing or feeling very weak, achy or tired.
Conversations about Omicron being milder than the previous major variant, Delta, have been circulating for some time.
